ANZ899-310230- 1020 PM EDT Tue Jul 29 2025 .SYNOPSIS FOR MID ATLC WATERS...A series of weak low pressure troughs will meander across the central and S portions tonight into Thu, while high pressure persists across the N areas. The high will shift E early Thu ahead of an approaching cold front from the NW. The front will move slowly into the N portions by later Thu, then stall Thu night. Low pressure will develop along the stalled boundary late Thu night into early Fri, just offshore the Mid-Atlantic coast, then track E and NE along the front Fri night. The low will clear well E into the N Atlantic Sat, pulling the cold front slightly further S later Sat, before stalling again across the central and S areas late Sat through Sun night. High pressure will build across the N portions Sun and Sun night. $$ ANZ820-310230- Hudson Canyon to Baltimore Canyon to 1000 FM- 1020 PM EDT Tue Jul 29 2025 .TONIGHT...SW winds 5 to 10 kt.
